Take a women in a wheel chair, add a couple of motors from a scooter, strap a bottle on the back, add bow planes, and you have something pretty amazing. The video is from a TED talk in 2012, about 9-1/2 minutes long.

Pretty amazing. Couldn't figure out how she controlled it since her arms wee always up. Foot pedals? She has crutches so must retain some leg/foot use.

Corrosion on the frame and bearings has got to be awful.
